Governor please stay

Once the Rouran people attack the city in a hurry, regardless of the casualties, it means that they are short of food and grass, and it means that it is time for us to counterattack. My lord, please be patient and wait patiently. "

Murong Shaozong cupped his hands and said, in a few words, he explained Rouran's situation clearly.

What the Rouran people consume in Jinyang is all looted from the local area, and the dry food they carry has already been eaten up.Rushing into Jinyang City to scramble for a wave before retreating back to the grassland is the ultimate goal of Anahu. It is impossible for them to occupy Jinyang, and they cannot control it.

Avoiding its edge and attacking its lazy return are the essence of the art of war.According to what Murong Shaozong said, Erzhu Rong should now follow Erzhu Tianguang's suggestion and stick to Jinyang City.But this kind of defense is not a complete passive attack, but a final counterattack.

When Rouran is ready to run but has not run away, it is the moment of decisive battle!

The reason is very simple, but how to grasp it is not easy to operate.

It was too early to attack, and the Rouran people still had strength, Er Zhurong might not be able to fight the Rouran cavalry who came and went like the wind.

It was too late to attack, and Anahu had already run away without a trace. Er Zhurong could only follow the opponent to eat ashes, which would definitely cause a loss of prestige.

Not to mention how to make up for the loss caused by Rou Ran Huo Huo Jinyang.

A keen sense of the battlefield is needed here.

"What Shaozong said won my heart. You don't have to fight any more, and you all go to prepare your army for war. Anyone who goes out of the city to meet the enemy will be killed without mercy. Don't blame my military law for being ruthless!"

With a wave of his hand, Er Zhurong decided on the strategy. At this moment, he seemed to have regained some of his former "General Tianzhu" demeanor.

……

After Er Zhurong withdrew from the Shangdang, Liu Yishou ordered Wei Xiaokuan to lead [-] troops out of the Shangdang to attack Qixian, Pingyao and other places south of Jinyang, and guard against the Rouran people going south.

However, the trees want to be quiet but the wind keeps blowing. Although Er Zhurong has no ability to go south to Qi County; although Anahu is not in the mood to trouble Liu Yishou, Gao Huan from Hebei obviously does not want to see Liu Yishou succeed in the attack on Shangdang. Also continue to go north to attack Jinyang.

Gao Huan of Yecheng sent his brother-in-law She Digan and his brother-in-law Gao Guiyan to lead [-] troops to station at Fangtou.In the twelfth lunar month of winter, the Yellow River freezes and you can run horses.Regardless of She Digan's dissuasion, Gao Guiyan led three thousand elite riders to gallop across the ice of the Yellow River, and attacked Baimadu at night!

Zhou Di, the guard of Baimadu, had been prepared for a long time, and put on a crescent shape to refuse the horse to block him. Gao Guiyan was defeated, and the sneak attack failed.More than half of the cavalry was lost in this battle, and She Diqian had no friendship with Gao Guiyan, so he directly reported the matter back to Yecheng.

When Gao Huan learned that Gao Guiyan underestimated the enemy and rushed forward, he dismissed Gao Guiyan's post in a rage, and ordered him to return to Yecheng quickly to wait for his punishment.Gao Guiyan was dissatisfied, and wrote back to Yecheng, reporting the events before and after the war to Gao Huan in detail. In the letter, Gao Guiyan categorically said that there was an inner ghost in the army, and that Liang Jun was well aware of the Wei army's sneak attack. Be prepared.

The implication is that he can never be the ghost, so the ghost can only be... She Digan.If Sun Teng is still in Fang's head, then naturally the blame will be placed on Sun Teng's head.Now that Sun Teng has been transferred back to Yecheng by Gao Huan, Gao Guiyan can only throw the blame on She Digan!

She Digan joined Gao Huan's army back then, and was also Gao Huan's brother-in-law. He is Gao Huan's real brother!As for Gao Guiyan and the others, to Gao Huan, they were nothing more than "high-ranking officials" who were related by blood, and their relationship was very unfamiliar.

She Digan followed Gao Huan, but sent his son Shedi Volian to follow Gao Yang. It was hard to say that this was not Gao Huan's order.

After all, Gao Huan was still the same "He Liuhun" back then, and he didn't regard himself as a member of the Bohai Gao Clan, let alone relying on his family to conquer the world.

The reason is simple. Gao Yue, Gao Guiyan and other relatives of Gao Huan did not have a bad life in their hometown in Hebei.Before the Six Towns Rebellion started, Gao Huan suffered a lot when he was in Huaishuo Town. He was often reprimanded and beaten by his superiors, and no one from the Gao family came to help him.

Without Lou Zhaojun's dowry and backstage, and without those old brothers around him supporting the scene, how could Gao Huan have achieved what he is today?

He didn't come when he was suffering, but when Gao Huan entered Yecheng and attacked Hebei, Gao Yue's gang came. As a senior old coin, how could Gao Huan have no idea in his heart?

Back then you loved and ignored me, but now I make you unable to climb high.Ordinary people have the idea that although Gao Huan can't show his emotions, how can he grab his beard and eyebrows and make no distinction between closeness and closeness?

Seeing Gao Guiyan's letter defending himself, Gao Huan was furious and ordered Gao Guiyan to return to Yecheng without any mistakes.Let the other party receive the military order, immediately, immediately, quickly, put down everything in their hands, and go back to Yecheng to wait for the order.

The military order was sent to Fangtou, Gao Guiyan agreed after receiving the letter, but when he left the city, he immediately turned his horse's head and ran south, ran all the way across the Yellow River, and surrendered to Liang Jun at Baimadu!

Zhou Di is an honest person, and he can't understand what kind of trick Gao Guiyan is playing, and he didn't play like this in order to die.After Gao Guiyan arrived at Baimadu, Zhou Di immediately sent him to Xingyang.

Liu Yishou went to Shangdang County, not in Xingyang, because he wanted to control the overall situation.

After Gao Guiyan defected, he immediately informed Yu Jin of the Wei army's defense, the place where the grain was stored, and the composition of various arms.After learning about these things, Yu Jin made a decisive decision without asking Liu Yishou for instructions. He immediately summoned his troops and joined forces with the Jiangzhou soldiers who were training around Xingyang, a total of 3 soldiers.

A group of 5000 troops, led by She Dichang, set off from Biankou to attack Huai County in order to protect the retreat; a group of [-] cavalry detoured from Shijijin Ferry to attack Chaoge, and set fire to the Wei Army granary hoarded here. clean!

The granaries on the other side of Fangtou are all fake, it was Gao Huan's trick to lure the enemy, and led the Liang army to surprise Fangtou.However, fortresses are always breached from the inside, and Gao Guiyan's big mouth can't detect the information that Liang Jun's scouts can't detect.

Knowing that Chaoge's granary was destroyed, She Diqian understood that Gao Guiyan had already covered everything on his side!Continuing to stick to Fangtou is tantamount to suicidal.

He had to take more than 1 elite soldiers, and retreated in embarrassment to Dangyin, which is located north of Huangzeshui, to resist the enemy with Huangzeshui, and defend the last line of defense south of Yecheng.

This kind of posture is equivalent to not guarding the door of the hospital, but the enemy has already rushed into the lobby, and She Digan is holding on to the door of the bedroom.

Yu Jin was not polite to Shedi, and led the rest of the people across the frozen Yellow River, and then took over Fangtou City.They also sent troops to sweep across the cities and villages on the north bank of the Yellow River, searching for the remnants of the Wei army.

Because of Gao Guiyan's betrayal, Wei Jun's defense on the north bank of the Yellow River unexpectedly collapsed, catching Gao Huan off guard.

Gao Guiyan, in his 20s, has not yet married a wife and only has a few concubines.In a fit of rage, Gao Huan ordered people to execute all the children born to Gao Guiyan's concubines who were under ten years old.

Knowing that the north bank of the Yellow River was lost, Gao Aocao, who had returned to Xindu not long ago, actually led his troops to set off again, and stationed troops in Guantao, not far northeast of Yecheng. Fight!

……

Er Zhurong's request for help, Anahu's marriage letter, Yu Jin's battle report, and Hebei Gao's secret letter were all placed on the desk in Liu Yishou's study.

Outside the city of Huguan, the north wind howled, and it was extremely cold.But in the government office study, Liu Yishou's heart couldn't cool down no matter what.

This scene seemed to return to the old time when he was in college and was pursued by several girls at the same time in his previous life.Liu Yishou felt that he hadn't enlightened at that time, if he had enlightened, I'm afraid brother Cheng would have to kneel and talk.

Everyone loves sweet pastry, but the world is so cold.The world has changed, people's hearts have changed, but the law of change has not changed.

"When Gao Huan entered Yecheng in the past, he was so high-spirited. I didn't expect that today's people would betray their relatives."

Liu Yishou couldn't help sighing, Gao Guiyan's rebellion was unexpected, but after careful consideration, he felt it was reasonable.Gao Huan has no sense of belonging to the Bohai Gao family, so why does Gao Guiyan regard Gao Huan as a relative?The action of force is always reciprocal.

"My lord has swept the world, why bother to sigh?"

Yang Xiuzhi checked the letters on the table repeatedly, he was so excited.

"Write a letter to Yu Jin, let him fight steadily, don't worry, let alone attack Yecheng now."

Liu Yishou said calmly.

Chapter 694

Rouran's army suppressed the situation and plundered around Jinyang. It can't be said that there was no gain.It's just that the current Jinyang is no longer the rich and powerful Jinyang in the Northern Wei Dynasty.

During these years in Jinyang, Er Zhurong expropriated and extorted money from the surrounding area, domineering, hoarding money at home, and draining the wealth of the people here.

If you can't beat it and are squeezed crazily, you can only "vote with your feet".

There are even countless local rich families fleeing in all directions, let alone ordinary people.

Although it is not so empty, it is not much worse.

Now all industries here are depressed, people's livelihood is withered, and it has long lost the style of the old capital of Zhao State.

Therefore, the supplies that Anahu plundered around Jinyang could not compensate for the consumption of sending troops, and the voices of dissatisfaction in the army increased day by day, all clamoring to go to Jinyang city to rob.

In desperation, Anahu had to order to continue southward to Qixian County. The army confronted Wei Xiaokuan's Liang army on the north bank of Hujiashui (Changyuan River), and did not move for several days.

To grab, or not to grab, this simple but not simple question was placed in front of Anahu.

Looting Qi County will inevitably lead to conflict with the Liang army. Once the war starts, Er Zhurong will definitely make peace with Liu Yishou.

In this way, Anahu was under attack from both sides.

Rouran's cavalry would not be able to take advantage of two-on-one battles around Jinyang, and they might return to the grassland empty-handed.

Anayu had experienced battles for a long time and understood very well that mules and horses had to carry the trophies. Withdrawing the troops with the trophies would not allow the opponent to have the ability to pursue them.

Therefore, it is very unwise to rashly start a war with Liu Yishou.

During the long-term love and killing between the Gaoche clan in the grasslands, Rouran has also climbed up the technology tree of the other party. The car-making technology is very superb, not inferior to the Central Plains.

These ox-drawn carts are used to transport materials and tribe migration. Generally, the goods on a cart and the accompanying horses, cattle, sheep and other livestock are all the belongings of a herdsman family.

Anahu felt that it was not that Rouran's cavalry couldn't run away, but that they didn't want to run back empty-handed.If you go back empty-handed this time, it will be impossible for the tribes under your account to continue to listen to his orders in the future.

As a mature superior, Anahu understands which things should be firmly held in his hands, and which things must be given up, and he should not be greedy for too much.

So he ordered the army to return to Yangqu, and sent a marriage certificate to Liu Yishou in Huguan City.

In the letter, Anahu made a condition: You and I will join forces to attack Er Zhurong, and after destroying him, I will go after a wave in Jinyang City, and Bingzhou will still be yours!

I will send someone to bring you the princess and the dowry when I go back. Anyway, you have opened up the Jinyang line, so you don’t need to go through Gao Huan’s territory anymore!

Got land and girls, this wave is interesting, right?Our men who set up horses are honest!

Er Zhurong, who was trapped in Jinyang, was more straightforward. He put forward three conditions in the letter of appeal: defeat the Rouran army, guarantee the interests of the Er Zhu family, and make Er Zhu Ying'e's eldest son the crown prince after he ascended the throne in the future.After agreeing to these three items, he opened the gate of Jinyang and let Liang Junbing take over Bingzhou without bloodshed.

"My lord, these two are interesting, when are they still playing tricks?"

In the study of the Huguan City Government Office, Yang Xiuzhi pointed to the letters of Er Zhurong and Anahu on the table and said, with a look of disdain, he looked down on these two "old guys".

It's better than not knowing, once compared, it can be seen that Gao Huan's political skills are brilliant.

"I want to eat but are afraid of spending money. That's the idea. It's not so much about negotiating conditions with me as it is about stabilizing us. The current situation is that whichever side we join will win.

You can't make a rash decision! "

Liu Yishou directly put the two letters on the oil lamp and burned them, treating them as "unreadable".

Obviously, he didn't take Er Zhurong and Anahu seriously, and he didn't intend to "go to war".

"My lord, why not use Bian Zhuang's plot to assassinate a tiger?"

Yang Xiu asked in astonishment.Liu Yishou also said before that he wanted Er Zhurong and Anahu to fight in full swing, so that he could easily pick up the leaks.Now that both sides have written to ask for help, Liu Yishou seems to be taking it seriously.

This doesn't make sense.

"Since Er Zhurong and Anahu both want to unite with us, it is the best way to deal with it without saying a word or replying at all. If we keep quiet, the two sides must be extremely anxious, thinking that we will Cooperate with the other side. This will make them more eager to fight, in order to decide the outcome before our reinforcements arrive.

Pass our military order, order Jiangzhou Bingyi to go to Wusu City (northwest of Qin County, Jinyang to the entrance of Shangdang official road), prepare to take the mountain road to reinforce Qi County, and ask Yang Kan from Yewang City to deploy more mules and horses to Shangdang Come here, just in case. "

Liu Yishou ordered decisively that his actions did not come in a rush to make trouble.When Wei Xiaokuan's vanguard arrived in Qi County, the local food and grass could supply the army to stick to it.But if we continue to increase troops to Jinyang, the logistics will be very urgent. We can only use mules and horses to travel the mountain road and transport them from Shangdang to Qi County.

The hard-working Jiangzhou mountain soldiers just adapted to the environment here, but the cavalry couldn't use it.

"My lord, most of Jiangzhou's soldiers are on the north bank of the Yellow River. If they are transferred, will they..."

Yang Xiuzhi asked with some uncertainty, the hand holding the brush never fell down to write the military order.

"Let them switch defenses with Yang Kan's imperial army, deploy the Jiankang imperial army to the north of the Yellow River, and Yang Kan still guard the wild king." Liu Yishou deployed calmly, lifting the weight lightly, almost without thinking.

The Jiankang Forbidden Army is well equipped, but it is too heavy. It needs a lot of supplies and logistical support from auxiliary troops. It is impossible to come to Shangdang.

Yang Xiu's pen was like a dragon and a snake, and the general's order was written in a while.

"In the future when the world is unified, I will recruit people from the Li family in Longxi, that is, your wife's family, to live in Luoyang. When the time comes, I will let you show your prestige in front of them!"

Liu Yishou looked at Yang Xiuzhi and said softly.

"My lord..."

Yang Xiu felt a little choked up for a moment.

"Go and send orders, military orders are important."

After dismissing Yang Xiu, Liu Yishou sighed softly.

"The barbarians in Bingzhou have been raging for many years. If you don't show your military power and punish the chief evildoers, you can't deter Xiaoxiao. Even if Er Zhurong wanted to surrender, I wouldn't dare to take over Bingzhou without fighting like this!"

Liu Yishou said something to himself.

A lot of things are not because he wants to toss on purpose, but that he can't do without tossing.Beidi is no better than Jiangdong. If they don't show off their muscles to their opponents, the local tyrants in Bingzhou might think that they have thin arms and legs and can't fight.Only when Jinyang is put down by force, those people will understand who is the big brother here!

What's more, the Erzhu family's violent taxation in Jinyang caused the local people to boil with dissatisfaction. If they don't take them under the knife, how can the situation in Bingzhou be stabilized?

Which is right and which is wrong, Liu Yishou sees clearly.

The world wants substantive unity, not superficial unity, so those who should be swept into the garbage dump of history must be dealt with carefully, and they cannot be let go for one reason or another.

A group of people from the Erzhu clan fell, and the people of Bingzhou won the hearts of the people, and the local tyrants couldn't respond to everyone.If you come out to hang out, you must pay it back. This is the so-called "rule of the rivers and lakes"!

The higher he went, the more Liu Yishou felt that he was a highly skilled political animal, and that a random order would affect the life, death and welfare of thousands of people.Many times personal feelings are irrelevant.

For example, this time, Liu Yishou may not kill Er Zhurong, but Er Zhu Shilong, a branch of the Er Zhu clan with great public grievances, must be resolutely dealt with so that no one will be left alive.Liu Yishou will not be soft at all because of Er Zhuying'e's relationship.

"I want to ride the wind to go back, but I'm afraid that Qionglou Yuyu will be too cold in the heights!"

Liu Yishou sighed with emotion.

At this moment, he felt the unprecedented loneliness.

Since ancient times, emperors have no friends, no love, no family affection.The more powerful you are, the more so.The things that these ordinary people possess will decrease as the power of the emperor increases.

Liu Yishou found that he was not the so-called "exception", nor was he like the time traveler in some books.

When the emperor gradually became part of the state apparatus, he no longer had a complete self.

Liu Yishou felt an invisible rope tightening himself, suffocating him.

……

"What the hell is he trying to do? What the hell is he trying to do!"

In the study of Er Zhurong's mansion in Jinyang, Er Zhurong was furious at Murong Shaozong!
